Field Bungalow Second Floor - Hanson Remodeling

Before: An awkwardly divided, disjointed, and uncomfortably chilly second floor.

After: The bright, open, warm second floor in this South Minneapolis Bungalow resembles a Scandinavian chalet.

Skylights let in natural light, no matter the season
A light filled vaulted ceiling raises the ceiling height from seven feet to nine feet
Closed cell spray foam insulation to maximize ceiling height and insulation value
Patching into already mismatched birch, fir, and maple hardwood floors whimsically displays the home’s history
Custom cabinetry houses media equipment, books, and an extensive record collection
Honed copper Schoolhouse Electric wall sconces warmly illuminate a new workspace
Hand framed dormer with hipped roof maximizes usable space, while seamlessly integrating to look as though it was always part of the home
Custom-painted Pastel Green Malm Zircon gas Fireplace
Marvin Integrity glider windows for warmth, light, and beauty
Cedar was hand-aged and crafted into sliding barn doors and a “hobbit door” for access to the insulated and drywalled attic storage spaces
